The Effect of Student Characteristics on Leading Indicators of Academic Success

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of race/gender/income status on five leading indicators of academic achievement outlined by Annenberg Institute for School Reform researchers at Brown University. Results showed that for each leading indicator, outcomes for students varied based on race/gender/income. Correlations between race/gender/income status and leading indicators were statistically significant. This study suggests that district policies, based on a leading indicator analysis, may improve academic achievement for male, low-income, and minority students.
